The Milan Fall 08 Shoe Fair

The tradeshow is probably one the least exciting aspects of my trip to Milan. I've been going twice a year since the Kris + Cris Shoes store started. The footwear fair has moved from it's old digs to far out in the burbs of Milan. It's a pretty long trip out. I have some key brands that I make it a point to visit everytime.

Not all the business of buying is in the tradeshows. I'll go to the brands showrooms themselves and view some of the coming footwear fashions. I was at Paciotti to do just that. As you can imagine their entrance is stunning. Most of the major players are just found off Via Spiaga.
